England v Australia, 2nd ODI: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview
England will want to bounce straight back from an opening defeat in the ODI series against Australia when the two sides meet in the second of five matches on Saturday.
Australia drew first blood with a 59-run victory at the Ageas Bowl on Thursday, though they have little time to bask in the glory of their success.
Less than 24 hours after completing the day-nighter down on the south coast, the Ashes rivals will be back in action at Lord's, London.
Date: Saturday, September 5, 2015
Time: 10:30 a.m. (local), 5:30 a.m. (ET)
Venue: Lord's, London
Live Stream and TV Info: Sky Sports (UK), Nine Network (Australia), SKY Sport (New Zealand), SuperSport (South Africa), STAR Sport (India), NowTV (UK Streaming Service)
Weather: Per BBC Weather, Lord's could be hit by showers on Saturday morning. However, conditions will improve in the afternoon with temperatures reaching up to 16 degrees Celsius.
Overview
The first one-dayer had more twists than a roller-coaster at a theme park.
Both teams enjoyed excellent starts with the bat, only to lose a clatter of wickets. The difference in the end was Australia—without the added pressure of a required run rate—were able to recover.
The tourists slipped from 164 for two to 193 for six after choosing to bat first, but wicketkeeper Matthew Wade combined with Mitchell Marsh to put on a crucial unbroken stand worth 112.
Their alliance carried Australia to a final total of 305 for six, with Wade finishing up unbeaten on 71 from 50 deliveries.
Still, it seemed England were going to overhaul their opponents' score when openers Alex Hales and Jason Roy put on 70 in a hurry.
Even after they had both departed, the hosts were in control at 152 for two in the 27th over.
However, they proceeded to lose five wickets for 42 runs—three of them with the score stuck on 194—to leave the tail with too much to do in the closing stages.

Captain Eoin Morgan was disappointed at the way England's chase fell away, per Sky Sports, "I thought Australia defended the score pretty well and put us under the pump, but I think we are a better side than that."
The wicket at the Ageas Bowl was excellent for batting, but conditions could be tougher at Lord's.
While the pitch won't be a problem at the home of cricket, the early morning start in the month of September could work out to be an advantage for the seam bowlers.
Australia opted not to pick a front-line spinner in the first game, instead using batsman Glenn Maxwell's right-arm off-spinners to add a little variety to their seam-heavy attack.
England, in contrast, included both leg-spinner Adil Rashid and off-spinning all-rounder Moeen Ali in their lineup.
Yorkshireman Rashid picked up four for 59 in his 10-over spell, the best ODI figures recorded by a slow bowler at the venue, according to Shiva Jayaraman of ESPN Cricinfo.
However, his impressive personal performance wasn't enough to help England record just their second win in their last 11 meetings with Australia in the 50-over format.
They did at least triumph the last time the sides faced each other in a one-dayer at Lord's, with Morgan making an unbeaten 89 in a 15-run victory in July 2012.
The only other Englishman likely to be on duty this year at the same venue is the England skipper's Middlesex colleague, seamer Steve Finn.
Key players
England
Finn took two for 47 in the win over Australia at Lord's three years ago. However, the bowler has picked up just four wickets in his last five one-day outings, including drawing a blank in Southampton.
England cannot rely on Australia's middle order collapsing throughout the rest of the current series to help them out. Therefore, early wickets are crucial to put the skids on a powerful batting unit.
Playing at his home ground, Finn needs to fire up front. His career numbers, though, are impressive—he's picked up 93 wickets in 64 appearances at an average of 29.15.
Australia
Maxwell's most important contribution in the game on Thursday came with the ball. His part-time spin accounted for Roy, who sliced a drive straight to David Warner at point to depart for 67.
However, Maxwell will want to make a bigger impact during the series when he's got a bat in his hand.
The 26-year-old—who has been playing county cricket for Yorkshire during the summer—eased his way to 15 on Thursday, only to feather a catch down the leg side off the bowling of Mark Wood.
